I don't think it's good idea. For example /var/lib/rpm should _not_ be
persistent (because packages installed in AppVM directly will not survive VM
restart). If you need any particular directory to be persistent, you can
symlink it to /rw either in /rw/config/rc.local (in selected VM(s)), or in
template (don't forget to place appropriate mkdir in some startup script).

Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
